IT ATE TWO OF MY POSTS ALREADY!!
ok, i am NOT going to write it a third time! anyways, i've tried multiple times to post earlier this week about my weekend, but something has been wrong with my blogger, i don't know what's up with it, so unfortunately i am mad at it and don't want to rewrite everything i wrote.
but i got my dress!! yippee! it actually arrived on friday, but the stupid office didn't tell me, so i had no idea. and i asked them about it, and they said they didn't have it (because it wasn't logged on their sheet, and they checked the small package area and it wasn't there). i thought it should have arrived by then, cause on the ups website you can calculate how long a package will take from zipcode A to zipcode B, and i calculated it to arrive on friday! anyhow, so i called the dress place on tues (but they were closed) so i had to wait til wed. so on wed i called, and they tracked it down saying that it WAS delived on friday! and it was signed for by the office!! soooo, i had to go call them again, and FINALLY they found it, in the large package room! i was so relieved that it wasn't lost somewhere or someone had stolen it or something. so i tried it on, and it's a little big! obviously my measuring skills are not so good, cause according to my measurements, it should have been a little tight. so now i'm glad i didn't get a larger size! hehe. i can now start accessorizing woohoo! good thing julian is in alabama this week so i can admire my dress openly hehehe

spring break
for the sake of those that do not want to see a scary pregnant lady at the top of my blog, i'll put in another entry. this week is my "spring break", next week i'll be starting up night classes again. and some weekend classes. fun fun. i don't look forward to it, but at least i'm taking the summer quarter off so i can concentrate on wedding stuff.
what i'm working on now regarding wedding stuff:
- my dress is being shipped! so i should be getting it the end of this week or early next week! can't wait! i'm really hoping that the size i ordered is not too small, i'm sort of scared!
- been thinking about what kind of veil i would like (why do i like expensive things?!) argh. i'm debating whether or not i should get a nice silky one (expensive, but will look pretty) or one of those cheap-o ones since i'll only be wearing it for an hour or so. sigh.
- i've been researching about "other" dresses, i know i know, i'm very fickle and i have not decided whether or not i want to wear more dresses.
- bridesmaid dresses, this is a VERY big stress right now. i can't wait until i've picked one and never have to think about it again. let's just say finding a dress that looks good on 4 different body types AND is pretty is no easy task.
- i'm going to order our invitations soon
- my mom is coming back from taiwan on friday so i'll get to see my taiwan pictures, yay!! i forgot to tell the wedding studio that i didn't want weird english words in our album, so i'm hoping and praying that they don't do that normally! ack!!
ok, i guess that's it for now. work still sucks, as usual. at least supposedly next week we're starting the working 5 days a week thing, so if you work more, you get a comp day. i've already earned a comp day for working last sunday =P and i get a two day weekend this weekend! it's been quite a while since i've had one of those. we're having another release on friday, so they gave us the weekend off! yippeee!!

more pretty earrings
I really like these earrings, these are my favorite so far. There are two problems though 1) they are very very long, 2 5/8 inches, which I think might be too long for my face. 2) they are out of stock!! Oh yeah, I guess there is one more thing, they are a little pricey.
But I'm hoping that they'll be in stock again soon, so I can at least try them on and see how I like them, cause I can always return them!!

warm weather
the forecast is 80 degrees today! too bad i can't enjoy the beautiful sunshine and i am stuck here at work. the weekend is supposed to be nice also though!
it's such a change in weather from even 2 weeks ago when it was rainy and dreary. i can start wearing my open toed shoes again! so exciting! hopefully it stays nice. this weekend i am going to do one of my favorite things to do, go to the SF farmer's market!
supposedly we can work 5 days out of the week now!! but we still have to cover weekends, so our team has to arrange it so that one of us will be there during the weekend. so for example next week i'll work sun-thurs or something. it's so unbelieveable! i don't know what i would do with all my free time. i need to catch up on all my magazine reading. and probably need to do some spring cleaning =P i remember when i actually had full weekends, i would mop, clean the kitchen and bathroom regularly, but now that i only have one day of the weekend, i do not spend my free day cleaning, so they are only cleaned when it gets pretty dirty. hopefully i can get back into my routine again. after going to tucson & taiwan, i'm hoping i won't have as much disruption and will be able to get back to my daily life.

homemaker?
oh yes, i forgot to mention, my relatives gave me a sewing machine and a rice cooker. i guess now that i'm getting married i'm supposed to learn how to sew and cook. hah!
oh yeah, i think i'm suffering from jet lag...i'm soooo tired. i don't know if i can make it to the end of the day.

taiwan
i am back from taiwan, and so happy to be back! the trip was pretty miserable, too much rain and sooooo cold. since shal already gave a trip summary on her flutterofwings blog, i won't repeat it =P
the first six nights (sat-thurs), we stayed in a hotel room all 4 of us in a room. it was very damp in the room, the sheets felt wet and slimy. and somehow all the bathrooms in the hotel were connected or something, cause our bathroom always smelled of poo even though none of us had used the restroom, it was gross. i guess that's what you can expect for a room that is $60/night! i didn't sleep well most of the time in the hotel. and it rained every single day, which pretty much sucked. it's no fun to walk around in the rain.
the next two nights we stayed at my grandma's house (fri, sat). luckily the rain stopped on fri & sat, but it was soooo cold. it was around 50 degrees i guess? i don't know, but like everywhere in taiwan, there is no heater in my grandma's house, so you have to wear warm clothes all the time. even with warm clothes, my head was still cold so i had a perpetual stuffy & runny nose the whole trip. the last night (sat) there were several small earthquakes starting at 3am. so basically after the first earthquake, i didn't sleep a wink.
and the flights to/from taiwan were loooong. and we didn't get an individual screen.
so that was all the bad points. some good parts of the trip: got to see shally, and she was a very good tour guide. she took us to pretty much all the sights in taipei, and all the good food places that she liked. it was fun celebrating her bday at ktv, much nicer than karoake around here, but of course it's also a lot more expensive. we got to take wedding pictures....unfortunately since it was raining we didn't get to take any outside wedding shots, but oh well. i didn't really get to shop that much, cause i was always tired which thus did not put me in the mood to shop that much. plus, it was raining all the time, so the night markets was not as good. i didn't get any new clothes or shoes which i had hoped for.
overall, i think i've done about everything there is to do in taipei, so i don't think i want to go back for a long time, especially in the winter. i'm thinking hot humid weather with bug bites is better than cold and miserable!! isn't that crazy?? anyhow, i now know that i don't think i could ever live in taiwan, the lifestyle is very different and i don't think i could ever give up my american luxuries =P
